This year as you might already saw I’ve raced a brand new bike, the Cannondale F-Si which is by far the most amazing hardtail I’ve ever ridden.

As always all the cash got from this auction will be donated for charity cancer cases. With my wife and dad will search specific cases that need money, because most of them don’t get any help from any kind of foundations and their financial situation isn’t quite good.

The auction will take place on my website as the previous 3 years because like this high selling commissions from auction websites will be avoided and more money will be available for charity.

This bike is also signed by Manuel Fumic, Marco Aurelio Fontana and Henrique Avancini, Cannondale Factory Riders who don’t need any other kind of presentation, so it’s also highly collectible.

Why the bike is pink?

You might know that the pink ribbon is an international symbol of breast cancer awareness. Pink ribbons and the color pink in general, identify the wearer or promoter with the breast cancer brand and express moral support for women with breast cancer.

The color pink is feminine Considered in modern Western countries. It evokes traditional feminine gender roles, caring for other people, being beautiful, being good, and being cooperative.

The pink ribbon represents the fight against breast cancer, hope for the future, and the charitable goodness of people and businesses that publicly support the breast cancer movement. It is Intended to evoke solidarity with women who currently have breast cancer.

After having a terrible incident in my family that ended with the loss of my mother I’ve decided to get much more involved in this fight. In the 2011 racing season I had a lot of pink bike parts and so some pink argyle socks to express my moral support, but then I told myself that I can do more so I got involved pro active and this is the 4th pink auctioned bike.

Sponsors of this project

The sponsors of this bike mainly where my personal sponsors but I had the pleasure to have some custom parts from Cannondale, Ashima, Sram, Tune but that is some aftermarket products from Ryde, Sapim, Xpedo, ESI grips.

Condition of the bike:

I’ve used this bike on the 2015 season (from April until October). Since then it was used occasionally. The photos were taken while the bike was new !

I love to have a bike running really well so I was really careful with it. It has only minor scratches and dents from normal using, nothing really to worry about. Before the auction the bike was completely stripped off, cleaned and greased. It’s running really good. Whoever will win the auction will just have to mount some pedals and adjust the seatpost and saddle.

Hey Taylor,
Thank you so much for your message. First of all I am happy to see that survivors like you and not only heard about my annually campaign.
I would ship to USA too but the costs are really high considering that it’s a “fragile”, heavier and high volume package. But it’s not impossible.
Anyway, you have other ways to support this 🙂
